So far Mr. coo1~ had not been able to ascertain why the ~(iwanis had failed to provide the refreshments as promised. Mrs. Earle voiced disapproval of the report on the Barn Raising in the Toronto Daily Star. She felt that, in future, reporters should be asked t:o get their inforIDa tion from Board sources to prevent such erroneous matter being published again. v7hilst agreeing that such a policy should be followed, other Board members felt that a letter of thanks should be sent to Miss Anne Wanstall asking her also to pass on the Board's gratitude to the Star for giving the Museum the publicity. A letter of tharu~s for his leadership at the Barn Raising is also to be sent to Mr. Morley Symes. 5. Histor¥ In Action,- It was suggested that t1r. Marshall query whether it would be possible to place a temporary sign some distance from the Musew« to attract attention on such special events as History In Action. Mr. Cook suggested that games be organized for this year's event I such as pin-driving I which had proved very popular at the Barn Raising. After discussion it was decided that this would be feasible and that lO¢ a pin would be charged and that Mr. Miller should ask Mr. Art Hall to make mallets for sale at $3.00 each and to run this activity. \ 1 -.. 3- 7/69 O?d ï'::irr.e ho:;:s,::!-sho2 pi'i:chinS'Jill also be held and other C~2~dS are to be ~on3id8red~ J On ~~ :':'.otiŒ1. by Hr. l:lill<=r. :: :::~ondec1 by Hrs.
